Are customized engines safe from updates?

I would like to modify some engines to try and make them more effective (simply limiting foreign language search terms), but I think that on new updates of the software, maybe they would get overwritten. Which is the best way to organize this?
Maybe making copies and naming them differently?

    Thats the way to go. If you order the *.ini by date you'll know if Sven has changed something to the script and compare it to your "extra-script".

    Yeah, just prefix them like "custom_platformname.ini"

    same issue i brought up in a previous thread. seems a better option would be a custom folder where we can add our custom engines. the gsa software could then read from that folder and run them instead of the original scripts. basically a replace function :)

    Yes I agree, like it is done with the custom search engines

    Plus 1 on this idea for custom folder.

    Common just name your customized engines differently and it should do the thing as well. We don't need a custom folder I think. MYMOD_ENGINE-XYZ.ini. Maybe also enter "engine type" differently and you are all set.
